What one tweet can teach us about “Fake News”
Kit Knightly
Three days ago this tweet turned up on OffG’s timeline:
Charlotte, I couldn’t agree more.
Women lose thousands of dollars each year, and hundreds of thousands over a lifetime, because of gender and racial wage gaps.
I’m committed to building an economy where my daughters have the same rights and opportunities as my sons. pic.twitter.com/0vholYMTaR
— President Biden (@POTUS) March 14, 2023
At the time I just laughed it off. It’s an absurd little piece of propaganda, but hardly the most egregious.
But, for some reason, it stuck in my head and started bothering me. After 48 hours or so I realized what about it was bothering me, and that it is actually an interesting microcosmic case study on what the era of “fake news” really means.
Everything about this tweet is fake. Everything.
The letter itself is obviously fake. The absurd zenith of the “children being precociously political” meme that became a running joke years ago.
Even if “Charlotte” exists, those aren’t her words, just a rough regurgitation of her parents’ brainwashing. And Charlotte almost certainly doesn’t exist.
There’s no reason to even suppose any physical letter exists at all and it isn’t just a photoshopped CG image. It easily could be.
The tweet itself is also fake – or at least pretend – because there’s no way President Biden operates his own social media accounts. I honestly doubt he’s even mentally capable of doing so. Rather, as Five Times August points out in another tweet, the Whitehouse employs a few “platform managers” and “social media directors”.
These are people who pretend to be Joe Biden online:
Further, the replies and reactions are largely not real. Many are bot accounts or employees of the US equivalent of the 77th Brigade. According to Twitter’s own figures around 50% of Biden’s followers are fake.
And finally, the gender pay gap does not exist. It is simply not the case that men earn more than women for the same job – that is literally illegal, and has been for nearly 60 years.
Rather the “gender pay gap” is defined as:
the difference in the average earnings of male and female employees either in a particular organisation, or the average for the whole country.
To use the most common example an airline might have a “gender pay gap”, but only because the mostly-male pilots are paid more than the mostly-female cabin crew.
Female and male pilots are paid the same. Female and male cabin crew are paid the same. The difference in average by gender is purely down to the choice of career.
In short, “the gender pay gap” is statistical nonsense invented through torturing numbers, and deployed solely so fake “progressive” politicians can pretend to be outraged about “inequality” without ever coming close to an actual threat to the establishment.
So, to sum up, here is the reality of “Biden’s” tweet:
- It was written by someone pretending to be someone they’re not;
- In response to a made-up letter;
- For an audience of fake people;
- About a problem that does not exist.
It is entirely unreal. The apotheosis of Karl Rove’s “created reality”.
And this is true of a lot of media narratives – maybe even the majority of them. Most especially on the internet.
The object lesson to take away from all this: Adjust your worldview. Never accept the underlying assumptions with which you’re presented.
Anything and everything could be false, and you lose nothing by asking questions or requiring proof.
That level of cynicism – or, more accurately, skepticism – is not only justified but required in order to maintain your sanity in a world that’s gone crazy and isn’t in any hurry to go back to normal.

The BBC world news doubled down on their climate lying this week. I called them out on snowless months recently, so they sent another prostitute on a carbon guzzling jolly to the Jungfrau region of Switzerland.
Weather Station at Jungfraujoch, around 3509m above sea level HAS SEEN temperatures rise by 2C. The end of the world is nigh.
Well, is it?
Winter 1989/90 I worked in Wengen, the ski resort linked by rail to Jungfraujoch. That is 33 years ago and before the IPCC religion had taken hold.
Mid December, I was driven out in a minibus by a race training director and it rained the whole way. It was raining in Wengen and at the top of the ski area around 2300m. All the November snow was washed away and this happened all over the Alps not just in Wengen.
In January, I pmayed tennis in shorts in a ski resort. Outdoors. The shop assistants wanted to deck me for hiring summer sports equipment. I told them to give me snow and I would ski.
Mid January I also did a ski tour from Jungfraujoch to Blatten, vi the Hollandia hit. This is normally done in March when meters of snow have filled in all the crevasses (and indeed I repeated the excursion in March under just such conditions). But that January, we had to descend 10 metres or so on a ladder to reach the icy firn. There was absolutely no snow on the glacier. Zilch. We could see all the crevasses too.
So that year, either zero snow had fallen throughout the autumn or whatever snow had fallen had melted away, either through warm temperatures or rainfall.
The Swiss expert said on TV that it had never rained at Jungfraujoch until this year, 2023. So it definitely didn’t rain up there in December 1989 then?
In early February 1990, a temperature of +23C was recorded at the cable car station in the neighbouring resort of Muerren at an altitude of 1600m or so. So extremely unseasonal heat occurred 33 years ago, not that theBBC prostitute would know about that.
Ther was also almost no ability to ski below the mid station levels the entire season. No snow before February, then it all melted from below because the ground had warmed up during the snowless 8 weeks up to the first good snowfall starting Feb 10th 1990.
March 15-27th odd was sunny and warm. Spring snow late morning, slush in the afternoons. Slush 33 years ago, eh? Rips the BBC images of 2023 apart.
April 1990 it kept snowing down to 800m until I left around 25th.
Will BBC impose life bans on carbon guzzling for its lying prostituex?
Or will they send to California to repeat record snow depths in the Sierra?
So SeitzerlNd is having a lean winter. They had one in the 1930s, the lady owner of the Hotel Falken in Wengen told me that in her hotel 33 years ago.
Calirnia has snowy winters every so often. 1982/3 and 2010/11 were epic, so is 2023.
Nothing to do with carbon dioxide.
But the arts graduates of theBBC will continue singing for their carbon guzzling jollies…
Fake news about poverty rise in India during Covid exposed: Claims of spike in poverty in India during Covid-19 patently false: paper co-authored by Panagariya – The Hindu BusinessLine
Build Back Better Biden is following his WEF script for ‘equity’ – in an economy that’s generally seen working people’s slave wages slashed for around half a century while the rich laugh all the way to the bank.
Now with the Great Reset, equity, or rather equal opportunity exploitation, will seal the deal as all us proles are leveled down to the same hunger games oppression (‘proletariat’ derives from ancient usage, and handmaids’ tales, of females who have been so dispossessed as to have nothing of value – to those without values – but their wombs to supply offspring for slave labor).
If Charlotte does exist, one can only hope she won’t also be invited by Creepy Joe for a fondling ceremony at the White House of Horrors with the pedo-prez.
It’s very rare to have a fake child bot who is both politically active and a writer, Charlotte was both
Yes Charlotte, Joe will fix it for you.
Or he might just sniff your hair.
Well, some assumptions always slip by. But one can have a court in a castle and an inner citadel, so to speak, in other words an additional level of scrutinity for what really matters.
It is a more efficient system than treating everything in the same way, kind of a just in time system, only not for delivery, but for judging. I’ve forgotten how this is called for functional programming languages that create an infinite sequence of numbers, just in time computation? Computation on demand? Something…
By the way, you find that attitude in Plato’s dialogues, when the guy who Socrates is talking to answers: “It would seem so.” Becomes obvious, when Socrates at one point insists: “But now say that it would not only seem so, but that it actually is so”.
Sounds like the establishment is still pushing the Women’s lib stronger than ever.
Sure they say, have a family if you wish, however, you should quickly get back into the work force so we can tax you just as hard as your partner. Further, hand your new born over to the State run child care establishment were the kid should be jabbed every other month with some chemical and we can brain wash it with some woke ideology.
No longer is there a world were a modest single bread winner can provide a roof over the families head, food and have enough left for a short family holiday each year. No, the modern familiy must have TWO professional full time workers to be shackled to a 30+ year debt to provide some shelter, forget about the holiday. Holidays are a privilege reserved for those only with a high social credit score.
Ah yes, give us the good old days, when woman’s work was never done around the family hearth and it was all ‘free’ for tomorrow’s wage slaves to be raised in Amerikan dreams.
“I’m committed to building an economy where my daughters have the same rights and opportunities as my sons.”
With all due respect Joe, I am not sure Naomi and Ashley are all that interested in crack, kickbacks and whores.
Good one!
When I was in the third grade, age 9 or 10, for various reasons I sometimes lingered after class; on one such occasion, I was prattling on about God knows what to my teacher– Sister Andrew Marie, RSM, one of the few nuns who was friendly and approachable rather than remote and intimidating.
Anyway, at one point she (not the cat’s mother!) burst out with appreciative laughter and said merrily, “Do you know that you are a very precocious child? Do you know what that means?” This gave me pause; I knew Sister was teasing me, but since I didn’t know what “precocious” meant I didn’t know whether she was complimenting or mocking me.
She assumed this might be the case, and facetiously said she was giving me an extra “homework” assignment: find out what the word “precocious” means. She could’ve increased my extracurricular vocabulary-building by suggesting I also look up the word “pique(d)”, as in “curiosity”, because I was indeed eager to learn what she meant.
I include my compulsive autobiographical anecdote to affirm that I am sympathetic to precocious children, and am mindful of traditional sayings like “… and a little child shall lead them”.
I don’t object to grownups taking children to political protests, and/or children getting media exposure– everything from, say, incidental views of kids at protests, or children with something to say addressing some body of grownups, e.g. a school board. Even so, I generally abhor using children as “poster children” to showcase political issues, regardless of the grownups’ political orientation.
I don’t doubt that some, er, precocious children become politically aware at a relatively early age, and form strongly-held independent opinions. But I make a distinction between children having early political consciousness vs. children holding protest signs up to cameras or activists publicizing a child’s oral or written comments to demonstrate the moral purity and righteousness of the cause.
I see the latter as exploitation, regardless of whether the exploited child is happy to cooperate. 😠
Knightly was on the right track until his proclivity to have an animus against the working class once again shows up. Work in the Western world and the entire planet is not egalitarian and in fact is driven by the demand OF EMPLOYEES to focus one’s entire life in service to capitalist overclocking as perceived by the boss, in any of a number of categories of work performance or relations. The assertion that the gender pay gap doesn’t exist is ridiculous. Are you not married or have women friends that have known this FACT their whole lives and passed down from their even more deeply repressed mothers?
“… that [paying men more than women] is literally illegal, and has been for nearly 60 years.” Really? Since when did illegal or unconstitutional EVER stop the elite from doing anything they want, unpunished and covered over by lies?
You can’t possible say this recent study does not contain plenty of common sense refutal of what you are asserting. So 80% of females are just delusionary about the perception that they are treated differently than males by employers?
https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2023/03/01/gender-pay-gap-facts/
This Achilles Heel Knightly has for the working class would be better left in his personal peeves round file. Trying to argue there is no privileged classes, discrimination or class, gender or racial advantage taking in the authoritarian workplaces in the West is a losing battle. And it diminishes any argument’s integrity, being so false.
Actually ‘Work’ is being born, the resulting baby grows up. The old 122yr old croak on race gender and “work” place equal opportunitism always was unattractive unnatural bollocks.
It’s a Great Pity such advocates of such dismissive shite never visited AN actual Industrial Working Complex, of Men & Women.
OR spent time joining A British Working Social Club. But then the Axe Society would have to leave their Plactards at Home.
Carry on Ballooning. We’ve ALL only been hearing about it for 55 years.
I worked union jobs nearly all my life in a variety environments. Your incomprehensible gibberish and bullshit is incomprehensible gibberish and bullshit. You must be one of the 5 gender bigots backing up Mr. Knightly’s chauvinism..
Where in the British Isles?
You write that the fact women on average have lower incomes than men is “purely down to the choice of career.” This is a massive simplification, and you must know it! Choices play a part, but they are one factor among many most of which are out of a person’s control.
Its in with no child left behind multicultural Racist fascist targeting that was Banned in the British Isles Monarchy in the late 1920’s! Along with SLAVE!
These fucking idiots are so bloody moronic it’s not even Webster funny. They are illiterate and against any form of common human decency.
I spent over 20 years working for an engineering company doing exactly the same work at the same level and making about 1/3 less money than the men because I wasn’t technically “head of household”. Finally had a manager so alarmed that he started quickly bringing my wages up though he said if it went too fast it would trigger questions of special treatment. This kind of BS happens all the time despite it being against the law. It’s not just “perception”.
gosh goodness! risky stuff to dare challenge the ‘all-knowing’ KIT K.!
The letter was certainly written by an AMERICAN though, because it includes the laughable ‘more… THEN’ idiocy that Americans keep doing ALL the time, the laughable ‘presiTENT’ twice (because Americans now pronounce their ‘d’s as ‘t’s, and their ‘t’s as ‘d’s, such as “I planted a seed on a planet” sounds like “I planet seeds on a planet”, and the ubiquitous American misuses of “your” instead of “you’re”. They really are the stupidest people on the planet, but this was all done by design, by the so-called ‘school’ system.
The real cause of our American stupidity is NOT the school system. It is this insane distaste many (if not most) Americans have for “Intellectuals.” They’d rather be caught naked in church than be caught saying something intelligent.
I sometimes wonder if my fellow Americans are contestants in a reality program to see who can say the stupidest thing.
The song ‘over there’doesn’t count as World travelled.
The thread of how Americans use the English language, and how ‘stupid’ they are, is getting tiresome here (happens often).
My condolences that the UK has become the 51st state of the US. Really. I am sorry that your country no longer has the power, influence and reach it once did. The fact that it is now of little geopolitical, economic or manufacturing importance to the world is honestly heartbreaking, even for an American like me.
But take stock!
Your language is THE language of international communication. It spans the world. It makes the big deals and seals international treaties. Whether it is spoken ‘properly’ or not is little significance, compared to the fact that it has indeed conquered the world.
So take the win, mate, and be happy about it!
We’re alright, you? Bottom line our Monarchy is still with us crunched 5% lol! 1969-2019. ☺. Remember you are two, seen three. An Individual Being.
Cheers

The I word and Js words triggered ADL hence why it took 3 times to post this.
Something interesting I have noticed that seems to have just started this past week, at least it is the first time I have noticed it: the use in news articles from MSM (specifically MSN news) to refer to animals with human pronouns. E.g something like
Man Hiking Finds Box Containing Two Abandoned Babies' (The box had two puppies in it),Jet Skier Sees Someone Struggling at Base of Cliff and Stops to Help’ ( Thesomeone' in question was a kangaroo, the article continued usinghe’ and `him’ throughout to refer to the kangaroo) . The use of human pronouns to refer to animals really stuck out like a sore thumb, it was quite jarring. So now we have the decay of traditional human pronouns (he, him, her, she etc) and the extension of human pronouns to animals.Sounds wonderful to me. It’s about time humans stopped “defining” everything else on Earth as beneath them – and treating everything else accordingly.
Oh man you’re gona love it when you wish you had the same rights as a tree- as recommended by Maurice Strong.
i am a tree ; )
i think you miss the point. it is the debasement of life, taxons aside.
mere biobots.
As in Havesting instead of killing. Soften the blow for a feel good factory filmed projection of religious emotions. A need to, or want to?
Perhaps this trend was inspired by fanatic anti-abortion rhetoric.
If so, and if the trend gains traction, before long “eggs” will be known as “baby capsules”. 🐔🥚
Maybe it was someone identifying as a kangaroo. 🙃
“Decay” is the word.
You have renewed my determination to castigate those who just can’t be bothered to remember that only three different spellings exist denoting, in turn, only three different meanings of a single sound:
“There, Their. They’re”.
Only THREE, for heaven’s sake, but the abuse of this fact is spreading like wildfire in today’s world.
Those too lazy to bother learning to distinguish between those three meanings and spellings are as guilty as those in your example of contributing to the global decay of simple common sense. – no small achievement…
Imagine leaving human culture and education in such a state for our children and grandchildren… And nobody in authority even gives a damn any more.
Hypocrisy of the internet MIC (alt) media outlets.
anti s!!!!!
Do you recall fighting the deep state Trump threaten them.
The Trump administration has launched an economic and legal offensive on the international criminal court in response to the court’s decision to open an investigation into Israel war crimes.
That your Maga!! for you.
Biden / Trump there all the same.
Pompeo threatened to bomb the Hague.
Wonder how Mr. President Biden feels about Henry Kissinger’s long standing warrant for war crimes?
Not only do we have generally equal pay, women are in many cases paid more. They take more sick days and in the case of many sports, they do far less work for the same pay. Do we men get all het up about it? Nah. Everything is more or less fair. Only satanic manipulators and their minions are claiming it isn’t.
Oh, that’s very kind of you. Thank you.
Any time.
I know. I get sooo tired of seeing nothing but women’s basketball, women’s baseball, women’s football! Don’t you? I do sooo wish men would get equal air time!
Its a feminist bombardment the blighters have nullified the clicker. All ads are human health channelling. The publics Males have been warned since 1985 to lose weight. Not us Europeans you have,
Absolutely.
And please can we do something about all the men who have to leave their jobs in the middle of the day to pick up a sick child at school. It’s infuriating.
How about a few mother’s chipping in!
This could be a sign of contempt or desperation. Here is the first item on BBC News:
“Putin arrest warrant: Biden welcomes ICC’s war crimes charges
….
US President Joe Biden has welcomed the International Criminal Court’s issuing of an arrest warrant against his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.
The ICC accused President Putin of committing war crimes in Ukraine – something President Biden said the Russian leader had “clearly” done.”
But not surprisingly,
“It is highly unlikely that much will come of the move, as the ICC has no powers to arrest suspects without the co-operation of a country’s government.”
So basically a total non-story. And a ludicrously theatrical one at that. How about, “Geriatric who’s lost it gets excited over judge pointing water pistol at map!”?
Amazing coincidence that the ICC’s action comes just after the UN reported there’s no evidence of Russian genocide in Ukraine (totally unreported in the Western media).
If deporting children is now something the ICC are zealous about, perhaps they could issue warrants for Laura Silsby and the Clinton Foundation followed by DynCorp. Or maybe it’s just a ridiculous tool of Western propaganda?
Aboriginal children are
The current generation may one day grow up to say they, too, had been removed from their families.
In Victoria, only about 60% of Koorie children in care remained connected to their family and culture. [27] In 2020, a “staggering” 81% of Aboriginal children were on long-term guardianship orders, which means they are in state care to the age of 18. [20]
The number of Aboriginal children being adopted is also disproportionally high. In 2020, 95% of adoptions have been to non-Aboriginal carers, and they all occurred in NSW and Victoria. [20] NSW allows adoption without parental consent.
Fact
In 2012, Olga Havnen, a senior Northern Territory government official, revealed that more than $80m was spent on the surveillance of families and the removal of children compared with just $500,000 on supporting the same impoverished families. Her warning of a second Stolen Generation led to her sacking. [28]

If Biden was ever worth anything to listen to it was about 50 years ago, now he is a senile old goat. But the con of this warrant when neither the USA or Russia subscribe to the ICC is just theatre. I note no one ever thought to ask about Albright’s egregious decision that the starvation of 500,000 Iraq kids was ”the right thing”.
Biden never wasn’t dumb. He spent most of his life trying to become president. His lies and corruption stopped him when he was younger. He only won this time because he promised to save the world from climate change. A bunch of dumb people following a dumb and corrupt person. A match made in Hell.
He only won this time because of blatant fraud.
Your never going to get off it. Even under Sterling blah blablah over US Presidental elections. You DUMB Fuckers have been a pain in ARSE Anywhere there’s Social Media. One BIG YANKIE GOB!
World STOP while these Fucking Morons JAM The AIRWAYS.
Fucking IDIOT Bullhorns the lot of them.
True on the fraud. My mistake. But a lot of people voted for Biden because of his stance on climate change. Trump’s mistake was to blatantly blow it off (and I am not saying I believe in it). Just a statement about doing more study or something like that. Maybe to promise an integrated approach by building wind turbines (along interstates) that would help the extremists get through the day while thinking we are doing something good to save the world (from a non existent crisis). The things are an eye sore. Worse than billboards. And without a backup battery system (made in China) they are totally worthless expensive double infrastructure. I digress.
The “detail” most civilians remain ignorant about: “It is highly unlikely that much will come of the move, as the ICC has no powers to arrest suspects without the co-operation of a country’s government.”
The ICC is a paper tiger. An organization of legal mimes prancing around in ill fitting suits.
Makes me wonder why African countries have been willing to cooperate – apart from the economic and military threats.

Pompeo on ICC: U.S. won’t be threatened by ‘kangaroo court’
By Reuters Staff
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Thursday that Washington would not allow Americans to be threatened by “a kangaroo court,” after President Donald Trump authorized sanctions against an International Criminal Court investigation into whether U.S. forces committed war crimes in Afghanistan.
Pompeo told a news conference sanctions could extend to family members of ICC officials to prevent them from visiting the United States.
“We cannot, we will not stand by as our people are threatened by a kangaroo court,” Pompeo said.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-warcrimes-afghanistan-trump-pompeo-idUSKBN23I2AJ
“The aide said that guys like me were “in what we call the reality-based community,” which he defined as people who “believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.” I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. “That’s not the way the world really works anymore.” He continued “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors … and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

Is the present “Collapse” Managed, Engineered, or an inevitability of Elitist Hubris?
I would argue its a combination of Premature transition management engineering, What’s known as the “Great Reset”
Presently though Central Bank Digital Currencies a new Going Direct solution to the misdiagnosed Banking collapse of the September 2019 New York repo rate spike is being implemented.
“The BlackRock plan calls for blurring the lines between government fiscal policy and central bank monetary policy – exactly what the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve are doing today in the United States. BlackRock has now been hired by the Federal Reserve, the Bank of Canada, and Sweden’s central bank, Riksbank, to implement key features of the plan. Three of the authors of the BlackRock plan previously worked as central bankers in the U.S., Canada and Switzerland, respectively.”
In my opinion, the attempt at criticism is misguided. Education is always brainwashing, i.e. at least the attempt to pull a child’s existing predispositions in the desired social direction – today it is often enough the fight against the predispositions themselves.
Feminine dispositions seek security, masculine freedom. This is not always identical with the physical sex, but mostly.
The stupidity is that politics today is determined by inexperienced children and security-fanatic women. The fault lies in dominance, not in the existence of such voices.
You can apply this logic to everything humans do. Even the comments here, and the stupid fucking buttons that “people” have been trained like monkeys to push, mostly have no meaning whatsoever. The names are fake, the emotions are fake, and the arguments are only designed to negate something. The majority of humans are completely fake in everything they do, say and think, because they have given up their integrity.
West-leaning International Criminal Court issues arrest warrant for Putin. Hmm…
The lesson to be learned is to ignore Twitter. If enough people did that, “tweets” would die by attrition and Musk could shove the fucking bird up his ass.
Everything is wrong about Twitter. Starting with the short, superficial, and inherently shallow nature of the shit that gets “tweeted”.
BTW, isn’t it obvious that whatever Bidet tweets is fake news. The poor guy is out to lunch.
Even though i do not use twitter or recommend it to any friends, it has massive reach and is probably worth saving. Twitter is one of a few places online where large numbers of morons can be reached, and hopefully weened off the propaganda they have been fed for years.
I believe that Musk is doing his best. The site has millions of bot accounts and most probably lots of back doors in the code. IMO, we should give Musk time to sort things out before we wield the sword of Damocles. He also has other businesses he cannot neglect.
I could be wrong of course as Musk seems to get as many things wrong that he gets right but that’s only my opinion. We shall soon see i guess.
argh, I ..

I’m pretty sure that you must be used to lots of laughter.
US President Biden not bidet dummy.
poor guy., folks. lol!
This just in (Graud naturally) and in the most lavishly illustrated and graphed way yet with lots of arrow diagrams, bullet points for that corporate power point presentation and, most importantly, LOTS AND LOTS OF DENSE PARAGRAPHS:
“Global fresh water demand will outstrip supply by 40% by 2030, say experts
Landmark report urges overhaul of wasteful water practices around world on eve of crucial UN summit
The world is facing an imminent water crisis, with demand expected to outstrip the supply of fresh water by 40% by the end of this decade, experts have said on the eve of a crucial UN water summit.
Governments must urgently stop subsidising the extraction and overuse of water through misdirected agricultural subsidies, and industries …..”
And to paraphrase Mr Bryan Ferry, “Dim the shite, you can guess the rest!”
Now I wonder how that can be done? Oh yes! I’ve got it! Brilliant!! Privatise Water, they won’t drink what they can’t afford.
Not to worry! Bill Gates already has the solution to this little water problem …
So that’s why they spent 8 odd years plumbing the Trossachs and Galloway reservoirs into a great southern valve? and the rest…
utter guff, and we know they make weather.
Like it, anything to stop dopes wasting billions on bottled water. If it was joe blow people wouldn’t think nothing of it. You don’t understand some people are paraniod about it raining. This crap has gone on long enough! Watch a blooming UK football game, You see tens of thousands carrying plastic bottles of water!
God’s Sake Wake UP! Smell the Roses!

Ferry is from my neck of the woods play orig. pyjamarama for the lassies. It might wake up these pea brained cronies lost in space.
All of those pretend Joe Bidens are female. There’s no apparent shortage of opportunities for women.
Ya. I noticed that too. I think it’s interesting that virtually all “official” phone calls I make, are answered by a female. Even the computer voices are feminine.

So, it was written by Joe Biden.
Aw, come on, man!
It looks like his hand writing.
The mainstream left have turned into proponents of political jihadism. Their ends justify their means. Lying, deception, destruction, cruelty, viciousness—all of it is necessary because of an emergency. Their cherished ideals are not fully embraced by everyone, but they need to be because they are the enlightened ones — therefore they have a calling to toss aside any and all honesty, goodness, and fairness if needed as the means to totally destroy all opposition. And just like the religious jihadists — their ends are to gain power over everyone, their means are violence. From Never Go Full Democrat
Even the emergency is fake. The apparent two political sides certainly are.
Your solution would be …….let me guess??
Go full Conservative / reptilian party 💤
or the new fake partys run by the establishment faking it as independent. 💤
Repeat after me: There is no Twitter. There are no Tweets. There is no Twitter. There are no Tweets.
Still with me? Good. Now repeat: There is no Facebook. There is no Facebook.
Imagine: a world without platforms just begging for lies to fill them up.
I don’t just imagine it.
I’m old enough to remember it.
It wasn’t that bad.
It was better. We can still have it today. It’s very easy to ignore it all.
Imagine a world where social platforms aren’t run by gov’t spooks and where truth and facts are revered.
It could be a whole different world.
It’s unfortunately too late for that. Truth and facts are not revered by enough people to make a difference.
As a paraphrase of the “Many are called but few are chosen” saying: “Many call upon truth and facts, but few choose them.”
aye, exactly!
Yes, maybe you can; maybe even I can. I can remember a pre-digital world. But what about the coming generation? Just ignoring or avoiding the insanity isn’t going to keep it from expanding.
I prefer a better teacher than a tweet..

Think of the children!, lol.
The brainwashed kids of today are the NWO stormtroopers of tomorrow. That’s the plan anyway. Talking of brainwashed, even greta of arc doesn’t service her own social media, and never has.
Quite soon, one shall not be able to trust anything one hears or told and only half of what one sees. Do we really want to live in a fake world solely for the convenience of gov’ts, their spooks, and the corporations that now pay them?
What we are seeing are social engineering programs designed to divide and conquer and to lower people’s expectations, not raise them. It has been suggested by someone who really should be in a mental ward that future pilot applications should be considered on the basis of their level of social brainwashing, with their qualifications and experience a secondary consideration.
It’s now becoming clear that Idiocracy, the movie, was a documentary.

Any suggestions, oh great one?
The ICC, an entirely unbiased organisation of unimpeachable integrity, and not at all just a kangaroo court serving western imperialism, has just issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin.
This is evil. They did this with Slobodan Milosevic. They eventually “tried” and murdered him.
they murder millions.

How much some people get sucked in way too far …..
Seriously, you should have more important things to do than have your interest drawn to this kind of garbage, like maybe combing your pubes or something.
Nice to see the mention of pubes has drawn out the Presbyterians in the audience.
Now off with yourselves to a blindfolded ice cold bath and keep your hands on that bible.
Their is a huge gap in SPENDING the money.
In generally men earn it and women spend it.
Some research about what’s going on there would make sense.
Curse
Feminism is among the worst of the curses the banksters have gifted their hapless subjects. It stems from their hatred of nature. Genital mutilation is contempt of nature and enshrines the bankster hatred of nature. Likewise with erasing gender roles which are essential for the survival of the species and fundamental to our mental wellbeing. The vast amounts of money and effort that goes into gender erasure is immense. Name abbreviations that leave one guessing the sex of the person is one psychological trick. Fashion that make gender distinctions difficult are another. Reversing hair length conventions are another and the music and entertainment industries have played a major role. Companies are required to report to governments on “gender balance” within their organisations. If you have ever wondered why there are now so many female pilots, one reason besides propaganda is organisations such as the Ninety Nines which have branches all over the world, have access to heads of state and which facilitate the entry of women into piloting.
‘Too many female pilots”. Ooooew-how awful.
interesting.
that hair length thing ? was it not more they way hair was worn? a style ode more to cultural conduct, not panache?? just saying.. asking.
depended on your role, certainly gender perhaps?
glam rock, mental, wtf was that all about, you’re maybe right, but was a hoot. e.g.
I don’t need no doctor, my prescription tells me..
: )
What in the world does genital mutilation have to do feminism? What do you mean when you use the word “feminism”?
Genital Mutilation and feminism are two examples of the bankster’s disdain or even hatred of nature, There are many more. Feminism is something forced on the people by the banksters who have ruled the world for millennia. It has succeeded in erasing gender roles and has forced women out of the home and into the workforce, often in professions they are not suited do. Last night we asked for a ranger to be sent out as cars were parked on a reserve. The despatcher was male, the ranger female. On an earlier occasion the female ranger did nothing because she was afraid to get out of her car at night with the possibility of hostile reactions.
Also what rights? The tweet is literally implying women have less rights by law then men. Lol.
If the gender pay gap was real, all the wicked exploiter capitalist bosses would employ exclusively women. No men would be employed at all. That way they could make even more money, pay themselves even bigger bonuses, guzzle even more champagne and caviar, buy even bigger yachts and have even more sugababe mistresses.
Talking of fake news, the BBC is putting up its licence fee from £159 to £172.
Or else men would be forced to see their own wages lowered in order to remain ‘competitive’. Could that be why real incomes have been stagnant (and falling) for than 50 years now? After all, according to the law of supply and demand, effectively doubling the size of the labor market in a short period of time should, ceteris paribus, cut average wages in half. And think how much worse (that is, more noticeable) it would have been without a meteoric rise in stock and real-estate values!
There are three people on Off Guardian who completely inspire me to even try and write.
The first was a girl – I can’t remember name maybe began with V -maybe from Eastern Europe – she wrote so brilliantly..I was attracted to OFF-G whilst Catte Black and Kit Knightley were still trying to post on the Guardian
I was going to post something about Rock Stars, but then this afternoon I came across this.
Craig Murray at his best. I have never met him nor even had a cuddle – but came close.
I disagreed with many of his political views…but what a brave man

How Trump replied to a 7-year-old’s anguished letter Washington Post Feb 05, 2018
MARGARET THATCHER’S LETTER TO AN 8-YEAR-OLD BOY ABOUT JESUS | APRIL 19TH, 2013
Yee received a congratulatory letter from Ronald Reagan. The 18 May 1983 article
“You’re really incredible, Jeffrey,” the president said. “You’re only eight years old.” Jeffrey R. Yee of San Fransisco set a worldwide record for the high score on Pac-Man by scoring 6,131,940 points.
The highest score achievable in Pac Man is only 3,333,360 points, due to a game-ending byte-overflow bug in the screen rendering code when level 256 is reached. This causes a “split-screen” effect, rendering the game unwinnable. Even President Ronald Reagan was fooled by this lie; he sent Jeffrey a letter of congratulations.
If Biden, Reegan, Trump or Maggy thatchers,, either it is letter or twitter fake news which most of it is..
Then how is it in 2023, you believed alt media new Greta super star 15 minute city speech contrived Xfactor viral video with Laurence FOX shill b news demonstration manufactured as real live from GCHQ studios in oxford.
Can spot a fake but cant spot a fake.
Or was that real (er) because all thee alt media personality’s all at once posted it.?
There’a a lot to be said for the argument that “Biden” is not real. It is certainly real news that people’s sense of reality is likely slipping quite severely at an exponential rate. The ZuckerBorg hive mind is taking over the masses. You do not need VR goggles to live in an artificial world created to steal your humanity.
If you don’t find what’s real within and realise just how deep the fakery goes, insanity is pretty much guaranteed.
I totally agree. This is an excellent comment.
To continue with the airline example, the reason why a lot of women are not flight crew is obviously because they’re discriminated against as girls, they’ll all train as pilots if it wasn’t for a lack of opportunity. ….and so on.
Which isn’t actually true. It is true that older light aircraft, the sort of thing that one might start learning to fly on, were designed for people with more upper body strength (so my daughter tells me) but its not something that a reasonably healthy young person couldn’t deal with. Larger aircraft are distinctly equal opportunity, in fact the inherently smaller frame of a female is a bit of an advantage. In fact, being an airline pilot is more of a women’s job because it requires a sort of constant attention to detail even when things are boring and routine for the umpteenth time, something that women seem to be inherently better at. But there still aren’t that many women flying for a living. It actually takes quite a lot of time and money to train to that level, it pretty much takes over your life, getting an airline job that actually pays is not easy (many entry level jobs pay worse than most unskilled jobs) and there’s no such thing as a ‘work/life balance or (initially) job security. Women do stay in the profession, though, but they’re like truck drivers or locomotive engineers — a bit thin on the ground compared to men.
The reason why there aren’t so many women pilots is nothing to do with strength, flying skills etc.
In those respects, women might well be amply qualified. But you have to ask yourself, at the end of the day, would women be able to grow a big handlebar moustache? That is one of the main requirements for becoming a pilot – you have to be able to grow a big handlebar moustache. That’s why women shouldn’t be pilots. I suppose they could be supplied with fake stick on moustaches, but it’s not really the same thing.
“I suppose they could be supplied with fake stick on moustaches, but it’s not really the same thing. “
but it is if you are a trans female-just don a dress a presto! You are a women
Reminds me of Banana, the “little girl” from “Aleppo” (honest, guv)
Those are just web pen pal lettering pickups by internet media agents thats all, as you are doing now. Collecting an open message reminiscent of a child? Why, is it because it’s a girl, or a boy who just loves fighter planes. Or grown up facts, it’s a very expensive aircraft?
It’s certainly not Propagandist imo.
There’s no way that anna bana wrote this. Her English is even worse than greta’s.
She is yet another NWO child run by its parents.
The moment I saw the title about “one tweet” relating to “fake news” I thought, well the expression “spoiled for choice” hardly even seems adequate. Actually, the first thing that went through my mind was the Gary Lineker thing.
Consider:
-The Lineker Shock Horror Infinitely Controversial Tweet Story was instantly everywhere in the news. And it was tediously repeated everywhere.
-It became a Big Left Issue and One That They Could Talk About Quite Openly …. not like that other stuff that Shhhhhhhh!
-It fed right into another Big Issue: the Tory Government’s “Fascistic” grip on the BBC.
-That other issue led instantly to …. St David (“I speak for Mother Earth” …. or is she now non-binary?) and his repressed “banned” episode – you know, the one about how Mighty Brave Environmental Crusaders were fighting to “restore nature”.
In other words, the old “We’re desperately trying to cover up this story because we really don’t want anyone to know about it and that’s why we keep talking about it!” move.
Lineker claimed that he encountered racial prejudice in the past because supposedly he had a dark skin tone.
Someone brought out a new version of “Zulu”, where Colour Sergeant Bourne reports to Michael Caine and Stanley Baker: “Zulus, sir. Thousands of them.”
The new one has:”Linekers, sir. Thousands of them.”
Gary thinks that he is helping. He thinks he is battling extreme conspiracy theorists who are spreading dangerous thoughts across the internet. He obviously hasn’t done even one minute of research and relies on the hive mind to save his ass everytime he makes a gaff.
I guess Gary is far too busy these days being a businessman to actually bother to find out if what he is posting is correct. Because of this, Gary, and people like him, are the problem even though they don’t know it. Such is ignorance.
Maybe Gary will change his tune when the NWO ban football because it’s just too dangerous for the modern kids? Even the professionals are having serious problems with the game. Some are literally dying on the pitch!
I’m sure this is a pure freedom of speech thing.
I’m really, really, really sure that if Lineker had said, “All these illegal immigrants are just scrounging parasites living it up in 5 star hotels and they should be kicked out back to where they come from”, then the BBC would have taken exactly the same approach to free speech and would still have gone grovelling to him to come back to his £1.35 million job.
I’m really, really sure of that.
To be honest, if he had said that, then i’d be all for him. What is going on is a no brainer. The reason i slated Gary is for his past grovelling to gov’t narratives.
He needs to start thinking for himself and not what’s financially good for the career. Matt Le Tissier did the right thing and he will be remembered for it.

“The absurd zenith of the “children being precociously political” meme”.
Remember Kamala Harris and her heart-warming anecdote about saying “fweedom” from her pram on a civil rights’ march? The one that turned out to be plagarised? However useless and incontinent Biden is, literally nobody is calling for him to stand down and Harris take over.
That’s quite a shrewd move on Creepy Joe’s part. Surround yourself with people who are even more incompetent and brain dead than yourself, so that leaving you in power seems infinitely preferable to replacing you with one of them. A foolproof survival strategy.

Tweeting is for twits.
Tweeting was for Hello,..it lasted 5mins before morons grabbed it., creating an uncontrollable unienglish (sic) mess by lazy gobshites.
Thanks, it’s so surreal it’s almost funny. Interestingly Trump seemed to write his own tweets.
Not only it’s fake and just tries to steer focus on non issues, but since they have more bot followers than real followers, how do they expect that this is working at all?
These idiots are using the same plan designed by people more than 50 years ago.
They inherited the world and now are pretty much mismanaging themselves out of it.
Same people that…blah blah. Its you investor’s shites you want your own plasticity fantasy materialist Cults. Your already SIXTY YEARS out of Date Dillies You didn’t even Know BANKS are CORPORATIONS ….Fucking Idiots! Yea yea they “speak” “English”.
